No new process to adopt. No per-seat pricing.
The quiet system Three people on call and nothing truly breaks. You just need to know when the overnight job fails, because right now nobody notices until a customer does. You want awareness, not incident response.
The mature team Your process already works: rotation, runbooks, postmortems. Every alerting product wants to replace that process. You want the alert delivered to the right person and nothing else touched.
The team that did the math Priced per seat, putting all ten engineers on the rotation costs more than the monitoring behind it, so you shrink the rotation to fit the bill. That is backwards. Acked doesn't count seats. Add who you need.
Track who is on call and when. Build out your escalation policies to loop in the right people.
We notify via push (iOS and Android), email, and other integrations, and keep trying until somebody acks.
View every incident, every notification, and the timeline.
Datadog and Grafana are supported out of the box, plus a simple API to add your own. We'll also plug into your systems and pass any alerts along.

Flat monthly tiers, never per person: free for one schedule, $9 for small teams, $49 for most teams, and custom Business agreements. Adding someone to the rotation never changes the bill. See pricing.
The alert goes through your chain. If nobody answers, we restart the process until somebody does.
Ingestion runs at the edge, on infrastructure separate from our delivery core. If the core has a bad day, the edge keeps accepting your alerts and buffers them until delivery resumes. Your signals don't get lost during our incident.
There isn't much to move: recreate your rotation and escalation policies, point your monitoring at Acked, install the app. Most monitoring tools can send to two destinations at once, so you can run Acked alongside your current pager until you trust it.
If you need status pages, postmortem workflows, and a service catalog, yes. Acked covers scheduling, paging, escalation, and history, and stops there on purpose. We're here to support your process, not get in your way.
